Festival Marketplace Menus

Special dishes created for the Food & Wine Festival, and available at the 14 standalone Marketplace booths located throughout Disney California Adventure park, as well as at the Beer Garden at the Paradise Garden Grill.

Sip and Savor Pass and AP Corner

None of the Marketplace booths offer a discount to annual passholders, but APs can again purchase the "Sip and Savor Pass" for $45. The passport provides eight tasting portions of selected food and nonalcoholic beverage items from 12 participating Festival Marketplace booths. The passport is not valid at Paradise Garden Grill.

The average price of the items you can purchase with this pass is $6, or $48 for eight items. Because sales tax is not applied to the price of the Sip and Savor Pass, but is to the food items, you get an 8 percent advantage when you use the pass.

The passport is a plastic card with eight snap-off tabs, strung on a lanyard printed with an Annual Passholder logo. Disney has designed a series of 12, buttons with the "AP" logo in varying color combinations. You receive one of the buttons each time you redeem a tab, and so can collect a series of eight when you redeem the whole pass. You'll need more than one pass if you want the whole set of 12 buttons.

You can purchase the pass at the following locations:

Festival Merchandise carts

The AP Corner

The Studio Store in Hollywood Land

The Festival Gifts stand in the Hollywood Backlot

AP Corner is in the Hollywood Backlot, outside Stage 17. This area opens at 11:00 a.m. each day, and offers a special PhotoPass backdrop for passholders, as well as annual passholder exclusive collectible buttons, and a collection of exclusive annual passholder merchandise from the event. Disney characters will be available for a special photo opportunity each day from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. and from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Sweet Sundays

Sweet Sundays are back for 2018, offering visitors a chance to start the day with a cooking demonstration by popular bakers and pastry masters. These hard-ticket events are $99 per person, and include a light breakfast and sparkling wine toast.

Spirit seminars

Seminars are held on the Sonoma Terrace at the Golden Vine Winery. The price is $20 per person, plus tax. All participants must be age 21 or older; neither children nor strollers are allowed in the seminars.

Disney is trying a new approach for 2018, moving the live culinary demonstrations outdoors again, this time to Palisades Stage in Paradise Park. This standing room only location provides more visibility for the speaker.

For $30, you can purchase a Culinary VIP ticket, and receive both a seat for the presentation and a sample of the dish. Afterwards, you can enjoy a meet and greet with the chef. Advance reservations are required via the Disneyland website.

Junior Chef

The popular Junior Chef offering is back for 2018, at a new home in Hollywood Land. The Junior Chef program gives children ages 3 to 11 the opportunity to help "bake" a sweet treat, with help from Goofy and some Disney chefs. Every participant receives a packaged baked treat to enjoy after the activity.

The free offering is scheduled three times per day, so check the event schedule for the day you want to visit. Participation is first come first served, and each participant must be accompanied by someone 14 or older.

Family-Friendly Seminars

Previously known as "Lifestyle Seminars," these brief 20 to 30-minute presentations focus on different aspects of the food world, from gardening to cooking. The seminars take place at the Backlot Stage in Hollywood Land each Friday through Sunday. Disney does not post the schedule online in advance

Festival Artist Showcase

Disney will again feature popular artists during the Food & Wine Festival, with several debuting new products commissioned just for this event.
